The victory of the Volunteer yesterday
is TO be rejoiced over with two thoughts
in mind. There is satisfaction in know
ing that the Americas soup, won years ago,
is to remain in America. There is more
than satisfaction in the thought that in
the trial Of skill between the naval ar
chitects of two great nations, America
has won in every contest. When the
Genesta came over she came as the best
boat in British waters, and the Puritan
was contributed to meet her. The builder
of the Puritan constructed the Mayfower
and the Volunteer, excelling himself each
time, and each time his boat outsailed the
boat sent over by English yachtsmen.
The contest has stimulated national pride,
and has stimulated builders of yachts on
both sides to do their best. Inter Ocean.

BILL NYE RIDES ON A TIE PASS.
New YORK. Aug. 7. 1887.

NEW YORK, Ang. Z, 1851.
Mr.. James Barker, G. P. A., Milwau-
kee, Ws.-DEAR SIR: I just got into
this city after weary but rather pleasant
journey over your road, which I was sur
prised to find we'll ballasted and running
through as fine watermelon country as
l ever laid a lip over.
Will you please accept my thanks for
the use of your road bet veen Abbotsford
and Chicago. 1t is good road, with
pleasant places along the entire line
where man can stop and rest.
Wisconsin is indeed a great state. Peo-
pie tell me that great many newcomers
are focking in there since [ came away
and that property has advanced in every
direction. Is this true? Advancing in
every direction is one of the most difficult
and dangerous things to do that know
of, for I have tried it myself I do not
practice it any more, however, and now
never drink at all unless it is case OF
necessity, or feel real dry.
[ thought | saw you in your special
car lust south Of the first trestle above
Milwaukee, but you went by 80 fast
couldn't tell definitely. Excuse me for
not speaking, as [ was not quite sure it
was you.
Green corn is still good along your
line and wild plums are just getting red
on one side.
Any time [ can be of assistance to your
road, either in collecting spikes along the
track or moving weeds on the right of
way, would be glad to do 80.
[ am going to be here in New York for
a year or two and would be glad to herd
your stock on Wall street while here, un-
less you have some one else to do it for
you. Yours truly,
BILL NYE.

have the beer made in the breweries of

its manufacture are regularly paid.

AN OBSERVATIONS RECEP-
TION.

The Madison Democrats are trying to
make fools Of Madison Republicans by
inducing the latter to contribute to the
Democratic campaign fund, or, in other
words, to fund to pay the expenses for
a celebration in honor of President Cleve-
land, which will eclipse a hundred-told
the demonstration made when President
u. S. Grant one of the really greatest of
Americans, paid visit to this city, or
that given President Hayes, whose ad-
ministration was singularly clean, honor
able and praiseworthv, or to grand old
Zaci Chandler and the lamented Gar
field, when they were here together. The
fuss being made is simply disgusting, la
view of the treatment, shabby in compari-
con, which truly exalted characters have
been accorded in Wisconsin's capital, and
is evidence enough to the clear-headed
that the whole thing is gigantic Cleve-
land boom, under the cloak Of popular
and spontaneous ovation TO great man.
1t is noteworthy fact that the enthus-
iasm is confined almost exclusively to
leading local Democrats, who, with funds
extorted from all classes, are rearing huge
arches over the streets, decorating build
ings and making other elaborate arrange
ments for the reception of the president
when he shall have swung as far around
the circle as Madison. Of course the
capitol is being gaily 5edecked: Gov.
Rusk's formal respect for the country's
president accounts for that.
There is little or no enthusiasm among
local Republicans, and why should there
be2 Cleveland is insignificant in COM
parison with such towering characters in
American history as Grant, Garfield,
Chandler, or even Hayes, whom the local
administration organ endeavors to ridicule
Hayes in striking contradistinction to
Cleveland, as pure man morally as ever
occupied the presidency. Why should
there be such an ostentatIous uprising In
behalf of Democratic president, who
has done no public or private act to en-
title him to a greater consideration than
was accorded to Grant or Hayes Mad
